Our Last Chance to Get the Country Back on Course
Reluctant Democrats, feminists and independents must now confront one simple reality: John McCain will be more of the same, while Barack Obama will take us into a different direction.

I don't agree with Obama's vote on the FISA Bill, and yet, I'm thankful. A year ago I wouldn't have understood the ramifications of any of it. It's Obama's ability to change that fact above all that's worthy of support.

For all the advantages that Barack Obama has this year, the same problems that nearly led to Kennedy losing to Nixon are lurking just below the surface of the 2008 political landscape.

Now, we as a people realize that the extreme conservatism dominating the Republican Party produces only division and incompetence. We are demanding a reversal of course.

It is not helpful to Obama that Nader is not buying his message of change. But so many Democrats despise Nader for his pivotal role in electing George W. Bush that it might make no difference at all.

Playing it safe will not win this election; the country is not merely ready for "change"; it is ready for real reform -- the word that Obama used over and over in last year's New Hampshire speech.

I thought that there was some deep difference between the parties, but what I didn't see was that all political parties are only interested in one thing, getting elected and taking down the ensuing graft.

Obama has taken a word that captures the heartbeat of the current culture and made it something people look forward to rather than fear. He has made change a good word.
ZP Heller | Posted 06.04.2008 | Politics
McCain played right into Obama's hands by devoting his entire speech to countering Obama's message of "change" with his own message of, well, "change."

Anyone who is the least bit candid on this issue knows that race permeates many aspects of American society. Why wouldn't the race issue pervade the election of a black presidential nominee?

"Personally, I think the sales gas tax holiday being proposed is like peeing your pants on a cold winter's day: It feels nice and warm for a little while, but very soon begins to feel quite cold."

Miss. Republicans in a GOP stronghold district ran hard against Obama-- and lost. Similarly meaningful losses came in La., Ill. and Ind. More than any scary blackness, Obama symbolizes change.

A gas tax holiday? That's not change. Clinton's judgment waxes and wanes like the FM signal on a long-distance drive. She has the working-class vote. Why is she toiling overtime to abase herself before it?

What Mrs. Clinton has that Mr. Obama does not have, Mr. Obama can get. What Mr. Obama has that Mrs. Clinton does not have, she can never get.

Obama can improve America's global image by bringing views of the U.S. people and views of the U.S. government closer together.

I'm here to say that you can keep the change. What matters is innovation. And innovation is an entirely different matter.

The rest of the world has an unprecedented level of distrust and anger toward the U.S. I believe it is Barack Obama who will help the U.S. regain the world's trust, which will make us a stronger, safer nation.

If the nominees end up to be Senator Clinton and Senator McCain, it should be one of the highest level presidential campaigns waged in U.S. history.

If elected in November, it will be important for Hillary's supporters, and for the country not to forget the larger possibilities of change.

While his policies are among the most progressive in the Democratic Party, Obama's lack of divisiveness has brought people who have never participated before into the political process.

Clinton's experience in foreign policy is limited to flying to countries, getting picked up at airports and dining with officials in mansions, none of which involved meaningful contact with ordinary people.
